The Trump administration has made another move indicating an American desire to normalize relations with Russia.
The administration recently shuttered a secret group created to drum up policies to exert pressure on Russia regarding Ukraine. The working group, created in March or April, “lost steam in May as it became increasingly clear to participants that [Trump] was not interested in adopting a more confrontational stance toward Moscow,” according to a Reuters report. That development came about three weeks ago, when “most members of the White House National Security Council — including the entire team dealing directly with the Ukraine war — were dismissed as part of a broad purge.” The Russia/Ukraine group was set up by staffers of the National Security Council.
The Reuters report is based on discussions with three officials. The disbanding of the group illustrates a consistent foreign policy pattern by this administration. That is, it wants to reverse the hostile posture toward Russia of the past administration.
